Miss Universe 2013: Contestants in Costume

When Osbourne's co-host Julie Chen tried to tackle the question with a diplomatic response, Osbourne piped in and said, "Stop being polite. Cut to the f--king chase! This is the situation. The situation is Barbara: Idolize her, divine, she is super-human. I love Barbara Walters. The rest can go f--k themselves."

Well, cut to Thursday's "The Talk," where Osbourne expressed her remorse for making such a remark.

"I have to own this. I'm fully responsible for myself. Some of the time," the former "America's Got Talent" judge said. "Unfortunately, I was inappropriate, and I was trying to be funny at someone else's expense, and it was the ladies of 'The Talk.' We were asked a question about 'The Talk.'"

"'The View,' you mean," cohost Sara Gilbert noted.

"See? I'm not well!" Osbourne quickly replied. "I'm not responsible. I'm really just a loose cannon. Anyway, I want to apologize to Jenny [McCarthy], Sherri [Shepherd] and Whoopi [Goldberg], who are all accomplished, self-made women who have amazing careers. They have achieved so much. I mean, Whoopi is an Oscar winner. Who am I to say anything about Whoopi, any of the ladies?"

Osbourne concluded, "I respect Jenny as a mother, as a woman, as an artist. Sherri, too. And really, I can't even get the name of my own show right. So please understand, it was my irreverent behavior, and no disrespect meant. And I'm not a person who is mean, I'm really not. And I apologize."
